Newt on the Hildebeest: '€˜It's Not The Emails; Follow the Money'
[Breitbart] Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich doesn't think Hillary Clinton is the lock for the White House many others do. And his reasoning has more to do with the money that flowed into the Clinton Foundation than her far-from-transparent approach to email while Secretary of State.

"It's not the emails. Follow the money," Gingrich said, according to this Huffington Post report.

Fed investigators prepare to file charges against Sen. Mendendez as early as this week
[Fox Politics] Federal investigators could file criminal corruption charges against Sen. Robert Mendendez of New Jersey as early as this week, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, citing people familiar with the investigation.

Mendendez, who is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has been under investigation for possible corruption and has denied wrongdoing, the paper reported Sunday.

Specific charges weren't immediately clear, but according to the Wall Street Journal, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been investigating Mendendez for more than two years.
Amazing how swiftly justice can move when the political narrative is threatened.

#1  He crossed Obama. Holder and the Justice Department can move pretty quickly when they want to be vindictive and punish political apostates.

#2  Hey, change party affiliation... no problemo. My 2016 stuff is going nowhere. I can do hat job. Get the bum outta there.

#4  Well Robert, are you surprised the regime has an enemies list and that they act upon it?

#6  Democrat? New Jersey? Practically begs to be jailed.

Politicians? Illinois? Somewhere in the process of being jailed eventually.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Netanyahu pollster: Obama role in election larger than reported
The Hill has the details on the ACORN-style operation run by Obama's people against Bibi. Almost worked, too. Now we know why Champ was so upset -- he felt he'd lost an election.
That's because he did lose the election. His people went over there to do the job, his State Department gave them money to do it...

#1  And he has to deal with the guy he tried to screw, and the guy knows it.

#2  The temper tantrum Obumble will have against Israel will almost guarantee a regional war.

#3  An Apology Tour is due by leftist American to Israel, Britain, Australia and our other allies for the Apology Tour Obama made to all the Islamic terrorist states when he took office, stiffing our allies.

Will not happen but that is what should be done.

#4  From the people who sent the "Dear Commandante" letter during Reagan's administration. They weren't anti-war, they were on the other side, and still are.

#5  Again, many Muslims including Osama Bin Laden deeply believe that Israel would had been de facto defeated, iff not destroyed, during the 1973 Yom Kippur War iff then-POTUS Nixon had not massively replenished Israel's war reserves.

TO GET RID OF ISRAEL = GETTING RID OF THE US = US-ALLIES FIRST.

Many Israeli including Bibi recognize this Arab-Muslim belief.

#6  Tries for regime change in democratic countries...
Sucks up to dictators.

McCain to Obama: get over your temper tantrum
[REUTERS] U.S. Senator John Maverick McCain
... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution...
accused President Barack Obama
teachable moment...
of throwing a "temper tantrum" over comments by Israeli Benjamin Netanyahu, adding to the conflict between the White House and the Republican-dominated Congress over Israel.

McCain, asked on CNN's "State of the Union" show if U.S.-Israel relations were at a dangerous point, said, "I think that's up to the president of the United States."

Obama's sensitive relationship with Netanyahu was strained further by comments Netanyahu made in the closing moments of his successful campaign for re-election last week.

"The president should get over it," McCain said on CNN. "Get over your temper tantrum, Mr. President.
It's not a 'temper tantrum' Senator. Normative behavior, quite normative. You're simply seeing the Champ for who he really is.
"The least of your problems is what Bibi Netanyahu said during an election campaign. If every politician were held to everything they say in a political campaign, obviously that would be a topic of long discussion."

#1  Yes, yes, Senator. But you were in a better chance to prevent Obama's election in 2008 than anybody else and you blew it.

McCain gets way too much time on these TV shows. They should stop hanging onto his every word as if he is some kind of a wise elder statesman. In fact, he is an eccentric old fart in the tradition of Strom Thurmond and Robert Byrd and he should be treated as such. The voters of Arizona disgrace themselves every time they reelect him just like CNN and CBS disgrace themselves when they keep inviting him back onto their shows.

Please, please, please Senator, just go away.
